Summary: to the guy below me if u go from ping g10 which are pretty much old man irons by the size of the sole and u go to blades pretty much theres something wrong.
Summary: I recently received my MP57s. I'm so impressed with the quality of the build. Each head is flawless, and the chrome is so well done. When I address the ball, the 57 doesn't scare you off because you know it's got some 'blade' qualities. I hit them and when it's right, the ball hisses off into the distance with that spin sound you can't but love. I bought mine with the DGS300s and believe the shafts are a big part of why I like them so much. I'm retiring my Ping G10s and look forward to many rounds with the MP57s. I went to the range and then a few days later played a round. I shot a 41 on the front and a 47 on the back. The back was just not that good because it was hotter than hell here in Phoenix and I just got tired too soon. I've regained distance lost with the G10s and the flight is more penetrating then parachuting link the Pings. I came close to reshafting the G10s, but after taking them back for swingweighting changes to PING, which is a fantastic company by the way, I decided to try a change in club. I've had my eye on Mizuno products for a long time as I think they're the prettiest clubs out there... classic looking with game improvement qualities. I'll keep the Pings because I may need them when I get old...! ;-)

Summary: I got back in to serious golfing this spring, after not playing for nearly 10 years. I took a set of 6 lessons and am now playing to about a 10 handicapp. I wanted to move from my old Ping Eye 2's to a forged type of club. I read all the reviews, did my homework, and decided on the Mizuno MP 57's. I picked up a set on Ebay for $400, in excellent condition, they look new.
My review: I absolutely love the clubs! I'm a pretty decent ball striker, and most of my shots feel so solid and pure. The ball flight is great, not too high or low, just right. My miss hits turn out just fine. No noticable distance loss, and not too far off line.
The clubs look so good at address, like a blade, and feel so much better than my Ping Eye 2's. I have alot of good to say about the Eye 2's, and recommend them to any 8+ handicapper. IMHO, the MP57's just feel so much better.
I would say these clubs would be great for a 15 handicapper and better, all the way to scratch.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Purchased on sale a couple of weeks ago. I'm a 9.6 and this past weekend played out of my mind (77 and 75) mainly due to the best and most consistent iron play I've ever had. The weight and feel of these clubs are perfect for me; something I was missing from my Ping I-10s. They work incredibly from the rough which has been very difficul this year. You feel the miss hits but distance remains fairly consistent.
Customer Service: Not used

Summary: Bought a used set Friday from the local golf shop. Had demoed 4,7,PW couple weeks back. Was skeptical about the price ($475) I paid when alot of reviews and ebay shoppers purchasing these irons new in the 400's. I was using nike forged pro combo os speed step stiff shafts, however ball flight higher than I wanted and had experienced distance loss. Set of MP 57's I bought had DG S300 SL shafts. I am not sure if it is the shafts, or a combo of the shafts with the lighter weight of the iron heads, however I can fully swing without any distractions of weight that I had always struggled with the nike irons. I have never hit a more consistent club. Even one of my common mis-hit shots (slight open face) opted the same distance only to the right (and in play). I'm telling you, Mizuno made these clubs right. My handicap after Saturday's round dipped to 11.0. Some posts say handicap 0-9, I think it depends on your swing. Know your distances and these will be deadly. Have fun!
Customer Service: Didn't use.
Similar Products Used: Forged Nike Pro Combo OS, doesn't compare to Mizuno.
